Week 10

When this week is done I will be 1/3 done with my training!!! Wow, how great that I'm keeping the commitment! Yes, I'm patting myself on the back.

One thing that has really hit home this past week is stretching. I've never been good at taking the time to stretch, and this past week I've paid for it. My body has been in extreme pain, which caused my runs to be less than great. However, I now am committing myself to stretching after each run. I need to take that just as serious as the run itself. Having muscles strained will only prevent me from running during the rest of the week.

I've also began to monitor my food better this past week. I dropped some initial pounds at the beginning, but nutrition is just as important. So now I'm making better choices. I made the mistake of choosing pizza last Friday, but that's the end. If I have the craving I will make an at home healthy option to keep myself on track.

So now week 10 begins, below is my workout schedule.

Week 10:
Day 1: 2.75 mile run
Day 2: Cross-training
Day 3: 2 mile run
Day 4: 2.75 mile run
Day 5: 30-35 minute run or cross-training
